You have several options:

string[] items = { "Item1", "Item2", "Item3", "Item4" }; string[] items = new string[] { "Item1", "Item2", "Item3", "Item4" }; string[] items = new string[10]; items[0] = "Item1"; items[1] = "Item2"; // ... 

Basic:

string[] myString = new string[]{"string1", "string2"}; 

or

string[] myString = new string[4]; myString[0] = "string1"; // etc. 

Advanced: From a List

list<string> = new list<string>(); //... read this in from somewhere string[] myString = list.ToArray(); 

From StringCollection

StringCollection sc = new StringCollection(); /// read in from file or something string[] myString = sc.ToArray(); 

string[] str = new string[]{"1","2"}; string[] str = new string[4];
